Since my last post, I've managed to get the cockpit coaming pretty well completed. I've proven the clamp rule again. I could have used about 5 more! In these pictures, I hot glued a ring of vertical strips to the cutout edge. The strip pieces are glued to each other with Elmers. I then added a layer of fiberglass to the outsid of the ring, making a generouse fillet with some heavy rovings from some fiberglass matting.

In the photos, I have wrapped five layers of Ash and Walnut around the coaming riser. I used Gorrilla glue to glue the strips to each other in case the bottom of the ring doesn't get perfectly sealed with epoxy.

Here are some pictues of the results. The front of the coaming had too tight of a radius, so I cut the long strips at an angle and started another course of strips. I think it looks pretty cool.

I also like how the side profile turned out.
